' Ik Heb Twee Idolen: Yvonne Van Gennip En Sven Kramer' zeg het maar! linda de vries tekst: marc ketzer / fotografie: anp yvonne van gennip „toen Yvonne van gennip op de olympische spelen van Calgary drie gouden medailles won, was ik een paar weken oud. Daar weet ik dus niets van, maar ik ken de mooie verhalen uit mijn hoofd. Yvonne is een fenomeen en mijn idool. en nu is ze teammanager van mijn ploeg Liga. rutger tijssen is mijn trainer, maar de sprinters uit onze ploeg worden getraind door Marianne timmer, ook al zo’n fenomeen. ik heb als allrounder niet heel veel met haar te maken, maar wanneer ik haar spreek, heeft ze altijd goede tips.” natuurijs „ik vind het prachtig, maar mijn programma staat het niet toe. als meisje stond ik wel veel op natuurijs.” sotsji „Mijn favoriete afstanden zijn de 1500 meter en de 3000 meter. ik kan niet kiezen… Wel zijn mijn resultaten op de drie kilometer iets beter, dus daar maak ik iets meer kans. ik hoop mij voor beide afstanden te plaatsen voor de olympische spelen van sotsji in 2014. Wie weet ook nog de vijf kilometer. ook de ploegenachtervolging lijkt me geweldig.“ muzieK „ik houd van de top 40, maar als ik toch een naam moet noemen: guus Meeuwis. ik ben eens naar een concert ‘ikhebtweeidolen: van hem geweest en dat was erg leuk.“ yvonnevangennip tv „Laatst was een goede Nederlandse serie op tv: Overspel, met sylvia Hoeks in ensvenkramer’ de hoofdrol. Prison Break vond ik ook leuk en nu kijk ik graag naar Grey’s Anatomy.” film „ik heb genoten van de romcom A Lot Like Love, met ashton kutcher en Linda de Vries (22) debuteert zaterdag op het Wk allround amanda Peet. Ze ontmoeten elkaar in Moskou. Heerlijk vindt ze het dat ze geen reserve meer is. tijdens een vlucht. Bij aankomst zijn ze Ze kan onbevangen een lekker toernooi rijden. De schaatsster zeker dat het tussen hen nooit iets zou van Liga over guus Meeuwis, sven kramer en Grey’s Anatomy. kunnen worden. in de jaren die volgen, kruisen ze elkaars pad meerdere malen. Heerlijk romantisch én grappig…” Cool! „Cool? ik? Waarom zeg je? best stoer. Jammer dat ik niet kon omdat ik als enige geplaatste rijder wél winnen.” (De Vries werd tweede achter idool „Naast Yvonne van gennip heb ik het Nk allround reed? Nou, dank je wel. Marrit Leenstra, red.) nog een idool: sven kramer. Hij is zo goed!” Het zat nou eenmaal in de planning, ik had van tevoren echt niet verwacht me WK allround „ik vind het heerlijk voorspelling „Het is mijn eerste op het EK al voor het Wk te plaatsen, dat ik mee mag doen. Vorig jaar was ik Wk en ik ben blij als ik bij de eerste tien waardoor ik niet bij de eerste twee van er ook bij, maar toen was ik reserve. Dat eindig. om de titel zal het gaan tussen het Nk hoefde te rijden. ik heb gewoon is heel anders. ik ga er echt van genieten. Christine Nesbitt, Martina sablikova en wat langer doorgetraind, geen probleem.

  • Seventh Allround Title for Wüst, Third for Roest
    March 1, 2020 Hamar, Norway Seventh Allround title for Wüst, third for Roest Ireen Wüst (NED) won her seventh World Allround title at the Combined ISU World Sprint/Allround Championships in Hamar, Norway on Sunday. The 33-year-old is now only one Allround title short of record-holder Gunda Niemann-Stirnemann (GER). Ivanie Blondin (CAN) came second seizing her career-first Allround medal and Antoinette de Jong (NED) edged out five-time champion Martina Sáblíková (CZE) for the bronze. In the men's tournament Patrick Roest (NED) won his third consecutive World Allround title. The 24-year-old Dutchman bounced back from a poor outing at the World Single Distance Championships two weeks ago in Salt Lake City, winning three of four distances on his way to the Allround title at the Vikingskipet. Riding the waves of an enthusiastic home crowd Sverre Lunde Pedersen edged out Seitaro Ichinohe (JPN) for the silver medal. Ladies' 1500m: Wüst builds small cushion Entering the 1500m, Ireen Wüst (NED) had a 0.220 points gap over Ivanie Blondin (CAN), which equaled 0.66 seconds in the 1500m and 2.20 seconds in the 5000. The Dutch World 1500m Champion wanted to use the 1500m to increase her lead over the Canadian endurance specialist, but Blondin, skating against the leader in the final pairing, kept track of Wüst for most of their race, only to concede little over a second in the final lap. With 1:53.89, Wüst beat her own 2008 track record by 0.76 seconds, but she gained just 1.32 seconds on Blondin, who would enter the 5000m in second place, 6.60 seconds behind.

Ter Mors’s time was the only personal best time of the day. A curious fact: for the first time in history the medals presented were made of chocolate. Ladies’ 500m Still feeling the effects of yesterday’s fall, home favourite Jenny Wolf had to race in the first pair and clocked 38.23. Her time led the field for a long time. Thijsje Oenema (NED) in pair eight was the first to get close to it with her 38.26. In pair nine Heather Richardson (USA) took over the lead with 38.00. With Sang-Hwa Lee (KOR) deciding to take sit this race out, the last pair featured Olga Fatkulina (RUS) and Beixing Wang (CHN). They fought a close duel that Fatkulina ultimately won in 37.92; Wang took silver with 37.96. Wolf’s fourth place also dropped her to fourth in the World Cup rankings, which are still led by Lee on 700 points, followed by Fatkulina on 510, then Richardson on 490 and Wolf on 473.
